Standard 30 mb is okay for propane or butane. Caravans have standardised on 30 mb for 20 years now.

You can buy J pegs similar to rebar ones, but which are smooth, thus addressing one of your concerns. The Towsure link in #34 gives details.

Yes it’s 600 recipes can be accessed via an app. So it’s well suited to tech literate caravanners. Mind you I’ve lost track of stuff that went into the car/caravan and sometimes never even got used. Examples being Prestige pressure cooker, Tefal pressure cooker, Remoska multi cooker, slow...

Could it be time to ditch all those various additional cookers, or even to rip out the gas cooker/oven/ grill. Payload increase ahead!! I don’t think I’ve seen anything more expensive in Lidls.

Just what we had and used in a likewise manner to yours.

Just grit your teeth, as Mrs Beachball gets to work on removing them. 😂

Unfortunately private messages have been stopped. A result of the Online Safety Act. I guess the FB group looks the best option.

I suspect the reason the fridge stayed cold is because of its insulation. Same for hot water.

Yes no problem removing them using good quality claw hammer. Wrt your comments I would use them on storm straps, and/or just at the corners of an awning in periods where bad weather was forecast.

Not long ago i posted a photo of some super long J pegs made out of steel spiral reinforcing bar. I’ve used similar and from my experience they hold anywhere, even very fine soil/sand pitches...

Good luck in your new venture. 👍 PS Will your qualifications when completed allow you to carry out work on Republic of Ireland caravans/motorhomes. either in the Republic or whether brought into Northern Ireland? Would open up the customer base.

Yes the various appliances had to be serviced by an appliance makers approved service agent. I never bothered as my annual caravan service checked such items for safety but did not service them. So unless anything went wrong they were not touched. Mind you mine didn’t have lots of bells and...

I guess that most owners fridges, gas heaters, cookers etc fall out of warranty very quickly as their warranty terms are far shorter than the caravan warranty. Also, unless things have changed those items require to be specifically serviced as an extra action to the standard caravan makers...

Where I last stored my caravan there was an MCEA training Center and admin, the large barn workshop could accommodate two caravans or motorhomes. There was also an AWS mobile engineer who shared the workshop and also had his own on site shop too. When the AWS engineer had to stop work for a...
